Chapter 18 "I beg for justice for Si Yu." (Revised)
He Chuanhan was hysterical, and most people were just watching the fun. Some of them didn't even care, and just lowered their heads and covered their mouths to laugh at him.
Everyone knows that Hechuan Han has a simple mind but strong limbs.
There is no investment project that does not lose money, but the man always feels that he is gifted.
He is strangely obsessed with investment, even though he is best at talking nonsense.
He twisted the story of his relationship with He Siyu's mother into two false ones, causing a woman who had just given birth to commit suicide due to the harsh words he said to her.
He then married his current wife, and gave birth to his son He Huaichi eight years later.
He Siyu was taken from the hospital to the old house by the old man and the old lady and raised by them.
Because of overindulgence, Hechuan Han was spoiled.
When nurturing the desires of the crane, strictness and ruthlessness reached their peak.
But He Chuanhan chose to turn a blind eye to all these. He stubbornly believed that He Siyu had obtained his current status without paying anything.
There was a hint of sadness in Mr. He's dark and dark pupils.
"Chuanhan, when you were little, your mother and I indulged you too much and made you arrogant. Didn't I teach you? Didn't you learn? Use your brain to think about it. What were you doing every time I taught you?"
"You're distracted, thinking up excuses to avoid teaching, and acting pathetic, begging for attention."
"It's my fault and your mother's fault for raising you like this. I was the one who taught Si Yu. He had no childhood, no friends, and no leisure time of his own."
"No one favors him, no one treats him well. Your mother and I always push him to the brink of despair, only then giving him a moment to breathe."
"I even beat his puppy to death to control him. That was the first time he rebelled against me. I punished him by making him kneel in the ancestral hall and breaking four of his rulers."
"He's been ill for a long time, but even so, I still let him study. I let him study like a robot, without any emotion."
"Can you do this? Can you?"
"He's not willing to endure even the slightest bit of hardship, just wanting to sit back and reap the rewards without any effort. He thinks everything he has today is what he deserves."
"Yian belongs to him, and so does the He family."
"I am a sinner. From now on, Si Yu's only relative is his wife. I have caused him too much harm in my life. I will protect his wife until her death. No one can covet what belongs to them."
Mr. He's words made everyone present look solemn.
The old lady lowered her head and wiped her tears, and tears also filled Ni Yang's eyes.
This was the second time she heard He Siyu's route.
This time it was the culprit's own account, and he almost choked up when he spoke.
She wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes with her fingertips and watched Hechuan Han's reaction carefully.
The man stood by the long table, his back hunched and his eyes dull. The light in the restaurant seemed not to reach him.
He hid in the darkness, his face turned ashen before he began to smile strangely.
He raised his head, and the tears in his eyes were lost in the hair at his temples.
“Hahahahahahahaha——”
"It's your and Mother's fault that I can't do it. If you had treated me the same way you treated He Siyu, I wouldn't be like this today."
"How ridiculous! Are you saying this now to make me pity He Siyu?"
"He got everything, so how can he be pitiful? Everything in the He family belongs to him. I am the one who is most pitiful."
He Huaichi, who had been silent the whole time, suddenly said, "Father, can you please stop pretending to be pitiful now that you've gotten the advantage?"
After his brother took office, Yian's market value increased several times, and his father received a lot of dividends every year. He could get so much money without doing anything. Now he says he is pitiful. How shameless is he?
"Shut up, I'm your dad, who allowed you to talk to me like that!"
He Chuanhan, who is very concerned about his reputation, was publicly treated sarcasticly by his beloved son. No matter how much he loves him, he cannot indulge him.
Wen Shuhua glared at He Huaichi fiercely, his elbow turned outward.
The man shrugged disapprovingly.
Ni Yang couldn't remain indifferent. She was so angry that she wanted to pick up the chair under her butt and smash this man who was worse than a beast to death.
He has distorted values, is selfish, and never looks for problems within himself. He only blames and envies others.
Old Mr. He started coughing violently, and the old lady helped her husband with tears in her eyes.
He murmured, "Wrong, wrong, wrong from the beginning."
Ni Yang didn't know what mood he should use to face these two elders. All of He Siyu's pain came from them, but they were also his relatives who raised him.
She was not qualified to approve their education methods on his behalf.
This is a dead end. The He family needs a capable person in power, but Old Man He does not want other descendants of the He family to inherit. Even if his own son is useless, he can still carry on the family business by educating his grandson well.
He Siyu was a tool from beginning to end, a tool used to inherit the family business.
No one cares what he wants or what kind of life he wants to live.
He sacrificed his childhood, time, and dreams to achieve what others expected of him.
Now he is hated by his biological father.
No one felt sorry for him.
No one has this.
She looked at everyone at the long table, all of whom were feigning compassion.
The desire for power and wealth was clearly hidden in their eyes.
They only saw that He Siyu got it all and got what they wanted most.
But no one can bear the path he has come from.
Hypocritical and disgusting, everyone here is.
He Siyu, the president of Yian Group who seems to be very successful in the outside world, is a man who has been deprived of the right to choose since childhood.
What He Chuanhan said was probably what everyone here was thinking. He Siyu had gotten everything, so what was there to be pitiful about?
I worked so hard for the He family, and never complained, but in the end I got nothing. I am the most pitiful one.
However, they took the dividends that He Siyu brought, but they resented and envied him for stealing what they had.
What a ridiculous person.
Ni Yang's eyes were red, and her hands were shaking with anger. She spoke softly but forcefully to the two elders, "Grandpa and Grandma, I want justice for Si Yu. He worked diligently for the He family, yet he was publicly questioned and insulted by his father. Is this going to be so heavy and light?"
"Si Yu has suffered enough. He's already grown up. Externally, he's the CEO of Yi'an. Internally, he's the grandson raised by his grandparents and the heir they nurtured. How can he be publicly questioned and insulted by his father?"
"He is the face of the He family. Scolding him is equivalent to questioning your decision. Grandpa and grandma, I am Si Yu's wife. I can't just sit there and watch him being bullied. I beg for justice for Si Yu."
Old Master He looked at Ni Yang deeply. After she said this, if he did not punish Chuan Han this time, he would be condoning his words and deeds, and he would only become more unscrupulous in the future.
"Yangyang, it was Grandpa who was confused. Grandpa will give Siyu and you a satisfactory explanation."
He stood up with his crutches and came to Hechuan Han.
He picked up the solid wooden crutch and hit the man's leg hard. He Chuanhan cried out in pain, knelt on one knee on the ground, looked up and glared at the old man with a solemn face.
"From today on, you don't have to go to Yi'an anymore. Go to the ancestral hall every day and kneel down to reflect. When you feel like reflecting, go back. Put away your thoughts that shouldn't be there. He's still your son, no matter what. If you can't learn to respect others, start from scratch."
"Dad, are you crazy?"
"You're crazy."
He had received news more than once that Chuan Han wanted to harm Si Yu. If Si Yu had not been so vigilant, he would have been gone long ago.
And he has always been protecting this disappointing son.
Ni Yang stared at He Chuanhan who was kneeling on the ground with a cold face. Grandpa's punishment was terribly light.
Compared to the punishment He Si was about to receive, his was nothing.
The old man still favors his son, and I'm afraid this must have made him very distressed.
Ni Yang looked away, took her grandmother's hand, with no apology in her eyes.
"Grandma, will you blame me?"
The old lady wiped the tears from Ni Yang's face with her rough fingertips.
He smiled and said to her: "How could it be, Chuanhan was taught badly by your grandfather and me, and he should have been beaten long ago. You are a good child, and Siyu married a treasure."
/
That night, after returning to Yutang Villa from the old house, Ni Yang lay on the bed in the master bedroom, tossing and turning, unable to sleep, with the words of the old man and He Chuanhan ringing in his ears.
The whole family is top-notch, there is no normal person.
How did He Siyu develop such positive values in such an environment?
What exactly happened between his mother and Hechuan Han back then? What does it mean to have a child that shouldn't have been born?
Oh my, she should be nicer to He Siyu in the future. He is such a poor little thing with no one loving him.
